Electrical Systems

Power is provided to the "ALABARE" electrical systems via a 110VAC Shore Power & 12VDC Ship's Service & Engine Systems. There are (2) GUEST Pro Sport 12 battery chargers and an engine 55 AH alternator.

The 12VDC system is powered by (3) battery banks with a total of (5) 12VDC batteries. A single Group 27 battery is used for Engine Start & (2) big 8D batteries that make up the Ship's Service / House Bank are connected only through a XANTREX PathMaker Automatic Power Switch that only connects the Banks when a charging source is available. This eliminates the unfortunate possibility of one Bank draining all of the battery power on the boat. There is a short term manual over-ride .. Battery Parallel Switch .. when batteries must be combined for emergency starting. The Banks, which are connected to separate "on" and "off" switches, are located under the Quarter Berth. The engine alternator, rated at 55 AH, normally charges the (2) Banks, but a GUEST Pro Sport 12 is available as needed. The House Bank power goes to the (18) breaker DC electrical panel.

The third battery Bank, which is located under the V-berth, provides power to the Bow Thruster, the Anchor Windlass and the Wash Down Pump. The Bank is charged by a second GUEST Pro Sport 12 charger.

The Shore Power System is 110VAC and is distributed by (9) branch circuits. There are both AC amperage & DC voltage meters at the pane. The system supports (6) interior outlets. There is a 50' Shore Power Cord. The outlets in the Galley & the Head GFI unit are GFI (Ground Fault protection). From the (2) 30 AH inlets, (1) HUBBELL & (1) MARINCO, on the port side outside of the Cockpit, the line is connected to a GUEST Galvanic Isolator to reduce galvanic currents that cause underwater metal parts to corrode, such as zincs and bronze propellers. From there, the current goes to circuit breakers in the electrical panel box and on to the various electrical components. The electrical bonding system includes, but is not limited to, chain plates, metal seacocks, tankage, engine, mast step, deck plates, and rudder fittings.

Systems

* SLEIPNER Side-Power Model TS57TI Bow Thruster is installed under the V-Berth in the bow.
